10CC – 20 Years: 1972 - 1992

"20 Years" is a 145 track / 14 disc celebration of the band's most famous period from 1972 to 1992 and includes all studio and official live albums released during this time, plus two additional discs with a selection of single edits and alternate mixes / versions as well as B-sides not included on the album.

Graham Gouldman remains at the helm and has just returned from a sold-out Australian tour.

20 Years" includes a 10,000 word essay by Liam Newton, author of the band's official autobiography "The Worst Band In The World".

formed in 1972, 10CC initially consisted of Graham Gouldman, Eric Stewart, Kevin Godley and Lol Creme, who between them were creative pop and experimental songwriters, multi-instrumentalists, singers and producers. They recorded most of their albums at their own Strawberry Studios (North) in Stockport and Strawberry Studios (South) in Dorking.

Originally signed to the UK Records label, 10CC first entered the charts in September 1972 with their 50s pastiche "Donna", narrowly missing out on number 1 but staying in the singles charts for a quarter of the year. Six months later, 10CC had their first number 1 single "Rubber Bullets". They recorded two albums for the label before signing to Mercury Records, Phonogram's label, in 1975.

Between 1972 and 1978, 10CC had five consecutive Top 10 albums in the UK: "Sheet Music" (#9-1974), "The Original Soundtrack" (#3-1975), "How Dare You!" (#5-1976), "Deceptive Bends" (#3-1977) and "Bloody Tourists" (#3-1978). Their double live album "Live And Let Live", recorded on tour in Manchester and London, reached #14 in 1977.

10cc also had twelve unique UK Top 30 singles, ten of which reached the Top 10, while three of them were #1 hits; "Rubber Bullets" (1973), "I'm Not In Love" (1975) and "Dreadlock Holiday" (1978). "I'm Not In Love" was their worldwide breakthrough hit. Two "hit" collections were also released during this time, reaching No. 9 in 1975 and No. 5 in 1979.
